There is a bit of a catch though. The IceRoad Challenge is done on river ice. With warmer weather and end of winter in the air, opportunities to complete the challenge are melting away, literally.

Winnipeg’s most notable river ice — the Red River Mutual Trail at The Forks — broke records this year for the longest trail, open for the longest duration, but that all came to an end Tuesday, when the trail officially closed for the season.
